Features & Terms of Use

Your Tulane Splash Card is more than your university ID. It has many other uses that fall into three categories: identification card, method of payment, and building access. Click below to learn more about each of these categories

University ID Card: The Tulane Splash Card identifies you as a member of the Tulane community and includes your name, photo, and classification. Please keep your Tulane Splash Card with you at all times. Your Splash Card is non-transferable. If your card is lost, simply report your lost or stolen card through Gibson Online.

Athletic Event Tickets: Your Tulane Splash Card is used at the Green Wave Ticket Office to pick up your free football tickets, and at the student entrance gates for basketball, volleyball, and baseball games. For more information concerning ticket eligibility, please contact the Ticket Office at 504-861-WAVE.

Print Card: Each semester, full-time undergraduate students receive a $25.00 printing allowance for use in the computer labs. This allowance expires if not used within the semester. Once a student exhausts this allowance, Splash Cash is the only way to purchase prints.

Meal Plan Card: First and second-year students are required to participate in a dining plan. All other students, faculty, and staff may elect to participate in a voluntary dining plan. Once enrolled, your Splash Card will serve as your dining plan.

Tulane Splash Debit Card: Just maintain a balance in your Tulane Splash Debit account and enjoy the convenience of purchasing power all across campus and even at some off-campus businesses, without carrying cash, checks, or credit cards.

Building & Perimeter Access Card: Your Splash Card is also a door access card. Depending on your enrollment and housing status, the card grants you access to various secured buildings on campus. This includes residence halls, academic facilities, the Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life, and Reily Recreation Center.

Residence Hall Room Key: Students living in residence halls with electronic door locks access their rooms with their encoded Splash Card. You won't have to worry about losing a key.
